Spectacular

Squiggly lines in the sky become fish that quickly swim away. Peonies bloom with bursts big and bright, making a splendid display. Eye-popping patterns of pyrotechnics thrill the young and old. Colors that crackle make cherry flowers that beautifully unfold. Trails of sparks can glitter the sky in gold or silvery ways. Aerial treats are these while anthems play; the heavens are ablaze! Chrysanthemums, palms, and waterfalls too are capturing our gaze. Universal in appeal, how traditional fireworks are - Lights that lift like rockets though they never go too far! Amazing plethora of pops - the patriot’s delight. Revelry accompanies the grandest show of the night! Written Jan. 17, 2016 For the SPECTACULAR acrostic contest of John Hamilton
